tho manufacture Of 1000 pixies by local
firm, and in 1858 ordered them forwarded to
Chambersburg, Pn., whence they were trans
ported across the country to the Kennedy
farm, near Harper's Ferry. From there they
were scattered around in various places. One

Mr.. John Ripple, who died in Ogle, Pa.
recently, at the age of ST years, was noted
citizen OF tho place, where he was best known
as "Old Johnny Ripple" Large stories arc
told of his strength and agility. 1t is said
that when he was in his prime he could kick
tinware from store ceiling eleven fectabove

escaped by jumping over twenty feet to

BOgeman's Cavalry Company.

The acting governor has been notified
that a cavalry company has been formed
at Bozeman and is ready to be mustered
into the territorial militia. This makes
nine companies o comprising the
National Guard of Montana.
There begins to be some doubt as to
whether funds will be available for the
immediate equipment of the force. The
congressional appropriation of $4,000 O
is for arms, camp eqnipage and stores for
the militia of the whole Union. The
president has directed that this sum be
divided upon a basis of congressional
representation, giving to the territories
the allowance of the state with the
smallest representation in congress. 1t
would give Montana about 5000 for the
year. This would be all right, with our
territorial allowance, were it not for the
fact that the whole militia is practically
unequipped and just getting "a starter in
the world" An effort will be made to
induce the president to make a change
to permit Montana to take a portion Of
the allowance for some we'll equipped
state-say New York-and pay it back
cut of allowances from future appro.
priations. The amount of So 900 is MOI
enough to arm the present militia, and
there is nothing else but the small
territorial allowance IN on urop avcopt

CLARK CHIEF INJURED.

Clark Chief Jr., n of the best known
stations in Montana was kicked on Mon
day and had one of his fore legs broken.
Mr.. Barnett his owner Immediately had
the injured horse strung up and is doing
everything possible to save the animal
The accident occurred in this manner: Mr..
Barnett stepped from Chiefs box stall
for a minute when the horse followed
him out and in ar instant was at the
throat Of a young Clark Chief stallion
near by. A desperate fight ensued,
whereupon Mr.. Barnett seized a pitch
fork, but before he could separate the en-
ragged beasts, the younger horse had
kicked his sire on the front leg and broke
it.
The old horse is about twenty years of
age and has a record of 2.314, received at
Bozeman in 1882. Clark Chief Jr., was
sired by Clark Chief, sire of the dams of
Phallas 2;13i; Majolica 2:l5, Wilson 2:164.
Clark Chief died young and he is the
only horse whose daughters have pro-
duced three trotters with records better
than 2:16i; Clarke Chief was sired by
Mambrino Chief, he by Mambrino Pay
master; he by Mambrino, he by Imported
Messenger; frstdam by Doniphon, PAGER;
second dam by Brown Pilot; third dam
thoroughbred, owned by Duval of Lex
ington, Ky.
Clark Chief, Jr., has many promising
o n in this territory, notable Ranchero,
2:24f, owned by Sam Scott of Deer Lodge
and Mountaineer owned by MI. Barnett.
Should it be impossible for Clark Chief
Jr,, to recover from the serious accident
which has befallen him the Gallatin
valley will lose n of its most famous
stations and Mr.. Barnett sustain a heavy
loss.

real estate, also farm property, and we
are informed by Lindley & Co. and J. P.
Martin that they are constantly in re-

garding the price of property, and many
in Bohemian are making enquiries with a
view of purchasing. The fact that there
are several ''boom" towns in the terrific
ry, where hundreds of acres have been
laid off on the prairie, and eastern par
ties induced to purchase, without seeing
the land, will have a reactive effect npon
outside spectators, and do much injury
to.the substantial towns in the territory.
while the home people will invest their
money at home, so the "boomiest boom"
is not without its good effect,

At a meeting of the militia company
on last Wednesday night it was decided
to organize a cavalry company to be
called the Gallatin Valley Guards. Gen.
eral Holman was requested to commun-
icate with Adjutant. General Turner and
request him to come to Bohemian at C
and muster in the company, as it is alb
solutely necessary that the company be
formed before May 31st in order to draw
the $500 from the territory and guns and
accoutrements from the government.
Charles Cobb was unanimously chosen
captain, Ed. Fridley ~tirst-lieutenant and
NJ. 7. Lewis second-lisutenant. By ma
king it a cavalry company lit is believed
that many young men from the country
will be induced to join, and, where SC
many horses can be SO readily procured
it thought that a cavalry company will
be the best. The company now consists
of wei thirty men and no doubt will
soon reach a hundred.

Arrangements were perfected for a
match game of base ball between the
Helena and Livingston mines, the out
come ola challenge recently preferred by
the latter. The game took place on
Decoration Day, in the afternoon, and
was played on a diamond at the fair
grounds, The contest was for a purse of
5000, the winners also to take 65 per cent
of the gate receipts, the visiting club be-
ing guaranteed one-half of all expenses
and to be the guests of the Helena nine.
The Helena club set to work to put the
grounds in proper shape for the contest.

the thousands of spectators who Witness

ample appropriations for the roads need

roads constructed can only see about
one-half of the park, and not the best
half at that. We will keep up with the

build hotels where there are no roads.
There is an appropriation of $20,OOG for
road work this year, and it will probably
be used for the completion of roads al
